| Comments: | Bruce
Murray is the younger brother of singer Anne
Murray. Bruce tried to follow in
his famous sister's footsteps, but unfortunately his musical career never
got off the ground. The following biography is taken from www.canoe.ca Bruce Murray grew up in the mining town of Springhill, Nova Scotia. He was the youngest of six kids which included famous musical sibling Anne Murray. He took piano at an early age and was a church organist by the age of 11. His education was spent at St. Xavier's University and after graduating he tried unsuccessfully to follow in his sister's footsteps by auditioning for the TV show 'Singalong Jubilee'. More studying at the University of British Columbia led to a final move to Toronto where he signed on with Anne Murray publishing reps Balmur Music (Frank Mills, John Allan Cameron). Following the release of his self-titled debut in 1976, he toured with Olivia Newton-John. He continued honing his craft throughout the '80's and eventually made an appearance on Anne's 1993 'Croonin' album. |

| Lyrics: | Things you
said to me sentimentally Are always on my mind Seems you harboured me but you set me free Long before you gave me time to escape The next time I'll be on my way Cuz this time it's true I'm turning my back on you Don't ya say it - don't say you need me If you don't mean it - don't even try Don't ya say it - don't say you want me If you don't mean it - don't say goodbye You threw love at me indispensably But you never could give it away And it seems to me that should never be That's why I'll never stay with you You can't hold me down cuz it's my life too So this time it's true I'm turning my back on you Don't ya say it - don't say you need me If you don't mean it - don't even try Don't ya say it - don't say you want me If you don't mean it - don't say goodbye |
